Staying fit and active can be a tough, but necessary, part of everyone’s life. Having a job that has me sitting from 9-5 plus a blog that has me making a lot of amazing baked goods makes it extra tough to fit into that cosplay outfit or cute nerdy tee. […]

Contest: Comic Recipe Cards from justJENN Designs!
At SDCC, I got to chat with one of my favorite bloggers, justJENNĀ of justJENN Recipes and justJENN Designs. She makes cute and snarky stationary, comics, buttons and more. I particularly love the Robot Love card and the “I like big bundts” button. When she’s not crafting up new designs, she […]

Dinner Party with UncommonGoods
One of my resolutions this year was to have more “grown-up” dinner parties. This means less people over, cloth napkins, and meals that don’t involve calling Domino’s. However, it’s me, and I still like to have a fun theme or activity planned. UncommonGoods came to the rescue with some fun […]
